Another typhoon to hit Mokpo, Korea, on Tuesday.

The Chosun Ilbo summarizes the latest developments off the southwestern coast of the peninsula:
This year's ninth tropical storm Malou is heading north and will make landfall on the southwestern coast near Mokpo, South Jeolla Province around 12 noon on Tuesday, the Korea Meteorological Administration announced Sunday. The storm will travel through the southern inland area on Wednesday morning.

Malou is expected to bring weaker winds and travels much slower than the earlier typhoon Kompasu, which hit the Seoul metropolitan region last Thursday but it will bring more than 250 mm of heavy rains in Jeju, the southern coast and Mt. Jiri.
